He seems like a very good guy. He just wants to get a huge deal because he won’t get many chances of getting one during his career. I wouldn’t give him one of those kinds of deals, but that doesn’t mean I think he’s a bad guy for wanting one.

He’s not coming back. He doesn’t want to come back. It will be mutual and both will be better for it.

He’s way too ove- the-top about money. Whoever signs him signs a problem.

I would hate to be a lions fan.
